[cfe-dev] clang-format, how to align function declarations?

[Daniel Jasper]

Such an alignment is quite contrary to how clang-format currently operates
and it will be a significant change to implement this. It would somewhat
relate to how we align trailing comments and escaped newlines, but
significantly more complex. You would mostly need to change
lib/Format/WhitespaceManager.cpp.

Cheers,
Daniel
